asked to complete an online form providing details about its plan’s
administration, participant statistics and data, such as participation rates. A
committee of PLANSPONSOR editors reviews the submissions and selects those that
rise to the top.

Winners and finalists
will be recognized at the annual PLANSPONSOR/PLANADVISER Awards for Excellence
dinner in New York City on March 31, and also will be featured in the March
issue of PLANSPONSOR magazine.
